OK, must be current use is different from state to state. Vermont current use is to prevent development and encourage proper forestry. Nothing to do with recreation.

"Vermont’s Use Value Appraisal (UVA) Program, also called “Current Use” or “Land Use”, enables landowners who practice long-term forest management to have their enrolled land appraised for property taxes based on its value for forestry, rather than its fair market value. When land is enrolled, the State attaches a permanent lien to the deed. Productive forestland appraised under this program receives this assessment as long as it is actively managed, unless the landowner decides to withdraw the land from the program, the legislature ends the program, or the parcel is discontinued by the Division of Property Valuation & Review. If enrolled forestland is developed or harvested improperly, a land use change tax is levied on the developed portion and all or a portion will be discontinued from Current Use."
